test OF the long range dynamite gun at Fort
Lafayette, New York, in the presence OF
Secretary OF the Navy Whitney and repre-
sentatives OF the Norwegian, Spanish,
French, Danish, Swedish and Japanese

ton schooner, anchored one and a fifth
miles from the firing point, and when the
exhibition was finished she was reduced to
sllvers that hoated away on the tide. The

pounds of dynamite with force of 600
pounds to the square inch. Six shots were
fired, two OF which struck the vessel, tear
ing her all to pieces. Another gun is being

GUILTY OF MANsLAUGHTER.
The Jury In the Haddock Murder Case Finds
Fred Munchrath, Jr., Guilty OF Manslaughter.

Sioux City, Iowa, Special Telegram,
Sept. 1S.-At 2:3O o'clock this afternoon
the jury in the case OF Fred Munchrath,
Jr., who has been on trial for the murder
OF the Rev. George C. Haddock, came into
court and announced it's verdict. The YER
dict is "We the jury, find the defendent
guilty OF manslaughter."
When the clerk read the finding the de-
fendant turned deathly pale, clasped his
hands and rocked uneasily in his chair.
During the twenty minutes till court adj
journed not work or look passed be-
tween him and his father and when his fa-

fendant remained in his chair.
gave his usual notice OF a
motion for a new trial, and the court set
Monday, the 26th inst. for passing SEN
tence The extreme penalty for manslaugh-
ter i'll this state is imprisonment in the
renitentiary for eight years. Pending pas
sing OF sentence the defendant remains at
liberty under bonds. To say that the yer.
dict was a surprise in the community is
only telling the truth. From two members
OF the jury it is learned that there was
practically no disagreement as to the
guilt of the defendant. The first ballot
developed that fact. The only question
was as to the degree of his guilt and there
was a variety OF opinions on that point
and the verdict OF manslaughter was not
reached till after twenty ballots were
taken. 1nasmuch as it was not claimed
by the state that the defendant fired the
fatal shot, and there was evidence showing
that just before the shooting he said:
Boys. give him black eye" The YER
dict is perhaps all that could be expected.

But Cheston crossed the room, and
reached Margaret's side first. She
took his arm with q smile OF relief.
| He led her away, conflicting emotions
! rendering it difficult for him to speak.
With O. little futtering sigh, the girl
exclaimed, "Oh, how tired / am Off

"Yes-take me home" she said,

That lady was soon found. Tho

| Once there, Mrs, CastlemRine mounted
the stairs, and Cheston Dale followed
Margaret into the drawing room. A
good FIRE glowed in the crate, and
tinted lamps shed forth an attractive
light.
With a SIGH of relief Margaret sank
into one of her favorite cushioned

to amuse and divert her. He succeed
ed well; her smiles returned, the old
merry laugh rang cut. But when at
length he o to 90, the sober ex-
preston stole over Margaret's face.
It touched Cheston amazingly; he had
not meant to tell her OF his love so
soon, thinking she had excitement
enough; but he longed to comfort her,
and with a sudden impulse went to
her side, and put his arms round her.
"You want to cry" he whispered.
land don't dare, even before your
old friend, Cheston Dale. Margaret,
l love you dearly!"
The answer to that was a shower
of tears. Ckeston noticed with de
light that she did notshrink from him;
perhaps the protecting clasp of that
strong arm round her comforted the
girl. Her tears did not last long; she
was quiet for q moment, then made
an effort to release herself, but Ches-
ton held her fast.
"No, l can't let you go, Margaret;
you must tell me that you love me,
darling" in a ~half-pleading. half-wist-
full tone.
And somehow, although it cost her
many bushes, Margaret managed to
confess that she did.
Az Cheston's wife she is a great
deal happier than when an acknowl-
edged belle. She is the Joy and de-
light of her husbands life, and that
knowledge keeps Margaret supremely
content.

A Caspian Lilly.

A still more pleasant afternoon I spent
in visiting the baunts of the far-famed
Nymph of the Caspian, writes Edmund
Noble in the atlantic Monthly. Neither
rock nor whirlpool besets the approach
to this coy beauty, but as the siren can
be seen only in her bath, from the luxu-
rious heat of which she draws not few
of her charms. one might we'll be led to
prefer both Scylla and Charybdis to the
peril of the brink to which this fascina-
tor lures unsuspecting travellers at Chyul-
pan. Yet the danger is much more
apparent than real. The Nympha Cas-.
pica has broken up no households and
prccipitatcd no fatricidal wars; the worst
that can be said against her is that she
has planted deep and never to-be-satis:
fed longing in the heart of botanical
Europe. Men of science, tender in thei1
admiration of her beauty, and wishing to
see it flourish elsewhere, have carried her
virtues to foreign parts in vain. This
tall, lily-like flower, with its o7erfowing
bulb of tender pink, bearing it's seeds IN
a punctured gourd, and bathed far up its
slender stem by continual flow OF we'll
nigh boiling water, mysteriously re-
newed--this queen of desert, unpopulous
Chyulpan, scattering her perfume owe,
land and sea, is the unique product OF
unique conditions, and can no more be
transplanted than the Caspian itself.

Three Snake Stories.

A kitten at Portland, Oregon, was
seen TO charm rattlesnake. The snake
was coiled. and with its head followed
every motion of the kitten. The kitten
seemed to realize the Importance OF the
situation, and never allowed her atten-
tion to wander from the snake. The
snake was killed.
James Houston, of Cane Hill, Ark,
was awakened by q noise under his bed
the other night. He lighted lamp,
and looking under, thought he saw cat;
but when he poked it with cane, q
bio snake came out and offered battle.
He drove it back under the bed, took his
wife to neighbor's for safety, and went
back and killed the serpent with pitch
fork. It measured II feet 8 inches IN
length, had stripes running dlagonaliy
around its body, and had recently swal-
lowed three young kittens. 49,,

and o.it crawled a venomous-looking
snake measuring three feet in length.

Boycotted by the Girls.

The progress of temperance principles
among the young Irish Americans of the coal
region within the last ten years is simply
without parallel in the history OF temper
ance reform. In fact, the temperance feeling
is now so strong that no young man can enter
the charming circle OF female society unless
he is an avowed temperance man and wears
the Father Matthew badge. lthas now come
to such a pass that the young Irish American
ladies will have nothing to do with the man
that drinks. By raising this boycott against
the boys the girls have played the part OF true
temperance missionaries, in that they sue
eeeded in driving the young men into the So
ceties An illustration Of this was seen in
the town of Beaver Meadow last spring, when
all the gir.s in the place combined and re-
solved that they would not accept the atten-
tion of any young man until he had first
signed the pledge and joined the st. Aloysius
Society. For a while it was thought that the
Young ladies were not IN earnest, and that
the boycott would soon be lifted. But the
young ladies were determined, and when the
young fellows found this out they surren-
dered, and forthwith there was rush for ad-
mission into the local temperance society.
The latter is now in very tiourishing condl-
ton Of those who join these temperace So
cieties about ten ont of forty fall from
grace:n in other words, 60 back to drink.
But the deserter's downfall does not last long.
After his debauch he sees the folly Of his
ways and thinks how happy he was when he
was sober.
But this is not the worst. All his friends
are travelling in an opposite direction, and
shun the outcasJ altogether. The result is
that man who breaks his pledge becomes
disgusted with himself and returns to the
society. After taking the pledge for second
time he hardly ever goes back to drink again.
The number who break the pledge second
time is only one in seventy. A member who
forfeits his membership in society forfeits
all his dues paid into the treasury by him;
care of the sick, wide VS. and orphans. The
St. Aloysius Society, of Wilkesbarre, has $50
names on its rolls and over 81, 900 in its treas
ury. The Father Mathew Society and the
Father Mathew Cadets have 200 more MEM
bers. Every society has handsome uni
form.-Brooklyn Citizen.
